Is this real? My therapist says that my need to do it all day is a compulsion that is about anxiety. Has anyone dealt with this? I mean don't we all do it? I know I have gotten too hung up on it and now I admit I have added exhibitionism to it, but it's about anxiety? is that right?

All normal people do it,it's nothing to be ashamed of.Alot of people may tell you it's wrong,just like alot of people will tell you watching porn is wrong,and also theres even alot of people that think sex is wrong,but only you can decide for your-self if it's a problem or not,and if you decide on your own it is than do what you have to, to get better.

i'm compulsive about it when i'm very stressed, or very angry, heh or looking at really cool paintings online. =/
I decided it was a problem for me b/c it effects my life in ways i don't like.

The triggers and the reasons are different for everyone i think

Masturbation is fine, as long as it's done on a healthy level.
When it starts to effect your everyday life, then it's become an addiction and it's time to seek out help.
I was masturbating constantly, every chance that I got. It definitely affected my life, especially sex life with my wife, I was always to spent to want to make love to my wife at night form masturbating during the day.
Look into programs for addiction, start out by reading up on addiction, especaily as recoverynation

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
